First Western Financial Posts Q2 Miss

First Western Financial (NASDAQ:MYFW), a regional wealth management-oriented banking firm, reported second-quarter earnings on July 24, 2025. Diluted earnings per share (GAAP) were $0.26, falling short of the $0.36 consensus estimate by $0.10. Non-GAAP revenue totaled $24.16 million, also missing the $25.28 million analyst forecast by $1.12 million. While loan and deposit balances strengthened and net interest margin improved to 2.67%, the company faced ongoing challenges in growing fee-based income and headline profitability. Overall, operational trends were mixed as progress in balance sheet growth and efficiency was offset by weaker non-GAAP revenue and GAAP earnings than forecasted.
